is it possible to learn calligraphy at home without guidence? if yes, then how? what material is required ?

Answer 1

YES! Get an instruction book at the bookstore. They sometimes come with pen, ink and paper combined. Enjoy.

Answer 2

There are several books and sets that will help you learn calligraphy.
If you go to your local arts and crafts store you can find a kit with an instruction book, a pen, ink and 3 or more interchangeable nibs (tips)
I was given a kit as a gift when I was a teenager- it had a very clear instruction book and 3 different sized nibs. It was really shaky at first but with persistence and practice you get hte hang of it and are able to do it well. I got to about a mediocre level, then moved around a lt, lost the pen and did not continue practicing but with just a book and a good pen and a desire to learn and the self motivation to practice you can do very well.
You might also want to check at your local library - I am sure there are videos out there that teach calligraphy- depending on the type of learner you are - this might be a little more helpful to you.

Answer 4

Yes Rupal, for sure, u can learn calligraphy at home. you can buy any good book from a book store alongwith a calligraphic pen set. The pen set will have a few flat nibs and definitely an instruction booklet alongwith. It'll also mention the angle to hold the pen at, and the direction where to move the pen. The book u buy should have lot of fints that u can practise.

Once u've mastered with the pen, u can experiment with many other things like reeds, brushes, etc etc.

You can add designs to ur fonts - it's all a matter of practise and patience.

Answer 6

It is possible to learn calligraphy at home on your own.

The very best book for beginners on calligraphy is
"The Art & Craft of Hand Lettering: Techniques, Projects, Inspiration"
(Paperback)
by Annie Cicale
ISBN-10: 1579908098
ISBN-13: 978-1579908096

amazon has it.
(I know its the best because I own or have read almost every book on calligraphy there is )

I would really recommend that you order a (free) catalog from Paper and Ink Arts, they have been selling calligraphy supplies for years and years. Their color catalog is very helpful for choosing books and materials.

There is a Yahoo group called Cyberscribes that you can join:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cyberscribes/
"CyberScribes!: The premier internet calligraphy discussion group. An International Community of Lettering Artists and Calligraphers discussing a wide range of calligraphy topics from tools to techniques and everything in between".

Last, there is a monster directory of all things calligraphic and paper related here:
http://www.cynscribe.com/
There's a list of calligraphy guilds around the world at this site, there might be one near you that you can join.

Answer 7

Craft shops like Michael's and Hobby Lobby carry instruction books and all the supplies you need. You'll need a pad of paper (lined is easier to start with), and a pen. Those stores have markers with calligraphy points which are much easier for beginners that the standard pens.
Hope you have fun.

Answer 8

actually yes. all you need are calligraphy pens and inks and a book where you can copy letters from. but calligraphy are mostly expression of your own style of writing.

Answer 9

Sure can,my wife bought a kit from a local big name book store that had everything you need. She dose invitations and Fancy titles and such for side money.
